For the maturing Christian, this idea of the unmatchable Holy Other is far more encouraging and less reductive than the wall of sin we sketch to demonstrate our unforgiven state, but that simple sketch remains an important idea for the unsaved unbeliever to grasp first. It's part of the story of the chasm, but not the whole. I appreciated the way you attempted to flesh it out more deeply.

Thanks! Yeah, that's the way I wanted to approach it. We can't erase the reality of sin, but that is far from the whole picture.
